The International Labor Day is called May Day for short, which is on May 1st every year.
May 1st is a statutory holiday in China. Prior to 2008, it was a three-day holiday, but is now just the one day. However, it is usually supplemented by two other days to form a three-day holiday by working either the preceding or following weekend.
During the holiday, people not only liberate themselves from their daily work routines, but also enjoy themselves by traveling and shopping.
五一国际劳动节简称五一节,在每年的5月1日。
五一劳动节是中国的法定节假日。在2008年之前,五一劳动节曾有三天法定假期,而现在则只有一天假,但这一天假通常会通过调休在前后补上两天,形成三天的假期。
节假期间,人们不仅可以从繁重的日常工作中解脱出来,还可以通过旅游和购物,享受幸福时光。
【讲解】
文中的May Day就是“五一节”的意思,也被称为“国际工人节”(International Worker's Day),劳动节其实是起源于美国芝加哥的一次大罢工(strike),不过现在,中国的劳动节已发展成放松(relaxation)和消费(consumption)的节日。需要注意的是,美国的labor day是在九月份。
文中的statutory是形容词,意为“法定的;法令的”,如:statutory guardian(法定监护人),statutory agent(法定代理人)。
